Heehee. I really couldn't imagine Zoro dancing until I read how you tricked him into it. Pretty much nothing that Sanji and Zoro do can be considered OCC if you just assume that they are trying to one up each other.

Also, the bit about Zoro discovering that dancing is hard is a good bit.

One teeny-tiny little editting note:

"Oh come on... I'll buy you a couple of drinks after! All you need to do is distract the guy so I can try to snatch a dance from his lady-friend, and I'll treat you after!"
"How'd I so that?"

I think you probably meant "How'd I do that?"

Good fic! Thanks for making me laugh.

Than I've done my job well! :D

Haha dancing seems so easy, or something wusses do (these days anyway) but it can be very, very hard when you haven't done it before :D

Oh thanks! I missed that one...

Hmmm in a way, maybe, but think of it this way; Dancing really is a lot like fighting in several ways, especially fighting as displayed in One Piece. You're constantly aware of your partner and react to his or her movements with movements of your own. There is a necessary grace to both that Zoro definitely does have. You move to a set rhythm (the beat or the rhythm of, in Zoro's case, katas and movement). Only difference is really that in dancing, you're moving together rather than against each other. The switch isn't hard to make though, and it's not even always the case. There are several dance styles that are directly related to fighting styles and I, for one, have no trouble seeing that with either Sanji's or Zoro's style.

Sorry for the info overload ^^;;;
